- Provenance: Possibly Gattamelata chapel, Basilica del Santo, Padua.[1] private collection, The Netherlands;[2] (sale, Sotheby's, London, 8 April 1981, no. 124, as by C. Crivelli). (Piero Corsini, New York);[3] private collection, New York, by 1984;[4] (P. & D. Colnaghi & Co., London and New York); sold 1989 to private collection;[5] gift (partial and promised) 1990 to NGA. [1] This was the first chapel to the right entering the church, dismantled in 1651 when it was transformed into the chapel of the Sacrament (see Marcantonio Michiel, _Notizia d'opere di disegno_, 2nd rev. ed., ed. Gustavo Frizzoni, Bologna, 1884: 7-8). This earlier provenance is hypothetical; for a complete discussion see the NGA systematic catalogue entry by Miklòs Boskovits in Boskovits, Miklós, and David Alan Brown, et al., _Italian Paintings of the Fifteenth Century. The Systematic Catalogue of the National Gallery of Art_, Washington, D.C., 2003: 89-94. [2] See Peter Humfrey, _Gothic to Renaissance. European Painting 1300-1600_, exh. cat., Colnaghi, London and New York, 1988: 26.
